Down 53 lbs feeling great [ATTACH]38850[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38849[/ATTACH]

I so wish I could commit to this. I have had my husband hide a scale from me so many times then I went out and bought a miniature scale and hid that from him. I think it's an addiction LOl

Stalled, stalled horrible :-( 226 snails pace but not gaining thank God

Im no expert but you have loss a lot of weight if you have load all that in 6 weeks.b You body is going thru tremendous changes as you well know and myself a slow loser at 4 months the end of this month still get depressed at times. I recognized it and told my hubby to be patient with me since I seem top stay pissed off with food memory. Some days are great others not so much. I stay busy with crafts and sometimes have to just go lay down to center myself. Hang in there your not alone. Don't hesitate to seek help from you doc out it gets too bad.

Not doing as well as expected but thought continuing to check in speaks for itself. Congrats to us all. 226 this week.

Actually what I found to be my problem. I had to either cut back on exercise or ready more my calories are 600 lower than what is considered a safe weight loss range and anyone will stall. Its oh so hard to juggle even now going on 4 months out some days I just want to cry in frustration. But then I fit into something smaller and press on.

My husband was so horney you would have thought I smelled like roses lol (not)

Bea THANKS so much for doing this

Had gained 2 on Thanksgiving loss e that so CW 227

Absolutely awesome was this decision! Yes I miss greasy burgers and fries but don't miss how horrible I felt about myself afterwards when I would have to go top the end of the clothing rack in the stores looking for something to wear. My mother in law asked me if I feel now as good as I look. I told her not yet I'm still getting use to it. But every day gets better not worse. For that I'm grateful. This was the first Thanksgiving Day that I got on the treadmill and bike!

Keep posting and reading the wonderful stories here and you will find the days fly and your success will increase as you body decreases, hang in there and good luck

Marci I just made 3 months

Starting weight 227 Goal 219

I had to have two little protrusions nipped off by the Doc. And would pull my bra up after every meal because it felt like it was sitting right on the top of my stomach

I marinade mine in lite soy sprayed pan saute and appreciated the high protein content and nothing else LOL

Each day will get better. I'm still at 3 months out down 50 lbs some days unable to get in the correct portions of everything. Something I really didn't understand counting the hours in a waking day and spacing drinking and eating out. But I did my very best and each day I learned a little more and was patience with the process and you will be OK.. For me it wasn't text book as I read from some others. My energy didn't fully come back until about a month or more. But everyone is different. Be patient.

You will find out what works

Marci you look Great smile!!

Woot,woot enjoy the journey to the losing side congrats

please count me in also I need a challenge, thanks Bea for doing this
